Today, KaiLai Packaging officially announces the successful development of PHA-coated paper cup, marking a groundbreaking milestone in the food packaging industry’s transition to fully biodegradable solutions. Utilizing innovative polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) coating technology, this product completely replaces traditional PE plastic coatings, enabling the paper packaging to fully degrade in natural environments without generating microplastic pollution. It provides a truly sustainable and green solution for the foodservice, FMCG, and other industries.

Key Innovations:

1.Revolutionary Material: The PHA coating is synthesized through microbial fermentation, offering the same water- and oil-resistant properties as conventional PE, while being 100% bio-based and capable of rapid degradation in compost, soil, or even marine environments.


2.Performance Meets Global Standards: Tested by [Third-Party Organization], the product meets FDA/CE food-contact material certifications for critical metrics such as high-temperature resistance (≥90°C) and leak-proof performance, making it suitable for both hot and cold beverages.


3.70% Lower Carbon Footprint: Compared to traditional plastic-coated paper cups, PHA coating production significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to global "dual-carbon" goals.


Industry Impact:

With the global escalation of plastic bans (e.g., the EU’s SUP Directive, China’s 14th Five-Year Plan on Plastic Pollution Control), traditional plastic-coated paper cups face mounting replacement pressure. KaiLai Packaging’s PHA coating technology not only fills a market gap but also advances the industry’s shift from "recyclable" to "naturally biodegradable." The product is expected to be first adopted by coffee chains, airline catering services and so on.

Next Steps:

The company has initiated large-scale production line construction, with mass production expected by 2026 and an annual capacity of 2 Billion pieces. Additionally, KaiLai Packaging will collaborate with some braned partners to expand PHA coating applications to food containers, paper bags, and other packaging solutions.

“We believe true sustainability must address pollution at its source,” said MeiJun Yang, Chairman of KaiLai Packaging. “The PHA-coated paper cup is just the beginning. We will continue investing in bio-based materials to make green packaging accessible to all.”
